I'm a slightly more experienced Linux noobie :-) So I have

a new Ubuntu 22.04 server I installed XFCE4 and the ubuntu desktop
Installed QEMU/KVM virtmanager
Installed Win11 with virtio drivers using this video

All finally installed fine and network does get assigned an address, but there is no Internet!

Some information that may help QEMU Virtual Network details

<network>
  <name>default</name>
  <uuid>685fea15-5b93-45b1-b89d-c20d63d5185e</uuid>
  <forward mode="nat">
    <nat>
      <port start="1024" end="65535"/>
    </nat>
  </forward>
  <bridge name="virbr0" stp="on" delay="0"/>
  <mac address="52:54:00:51:ce:e2"/>
  <ip address="192.168.122.1" netmask="255.255.255.0">
    <dhcp>
      <range start="192.168.122.2" end="192.168.122.254"/>
    </dhcp>
  </ip>
</network>

I am connecting via Ethernet and this is my config

enp4s0: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST>  mtu 1500
        inet 192.168.50.6  netmask 255.255.255.0  broadcast 192.168.50.255

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
